ATLANTA SPINE SPECIALISTS PROCEDURES DURING CORONAVIRUS
(COVID-19)
PAIN IS NOT AN ELECTIVE CONDITION!
We are open, COVID-19 free, preforming surgeries and treating patients!
Atlanta Spine Specialists practice and Windward Surgery Center, a comprehensive state of the art ambulatory
center will continue to utilize CDC guidelines for disinfecting and sterilizing our surgical center, patient rooms
and waiting areas. We offer the highest standard of professional surgical care to our patients.
Patients with questions about COVID-19 can call our staff at (770) 844-3242 to receive information only and
not to diagnose, treat, or render a medical opinion.
We are open and focused on helping patients live a pain free life.
We want to assure you we are here for your pain management needs. Atlanta Spine Specialists priority is the health and well-being of all of our patients. Our office and surgery center remains open during our normal business hours of Monday through Friday 8:30am – 4:30 pm.
We are continuing to treat our current patients and accept new patients, with the option to have visits conducted via telemedicine (phone or a video chat). These appointments will be available for initial consultations, follow-ups, imaging reviews, and other outpatient appointments. Patients do not need to have any special technology for a telemedicine appointment; the patient can call in for their appointment on either a smartphone or a landline phone. Our team is available to discuss, by telephone, your situation, and together we can determine whether you should be seen via TeleMed or an in-office visit appointment. As always, you are encouraged to reach out to us with any questions.
In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, we are implementing new procedures to ensure the health and safety of our patients, doctors, staff, and community.
